Hamas TV show abuses animals to teach kids lesson
Palestinian Media Watch ^ | August 13 2007 | Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

Posted on 08/13/2007 9:16:17 AM PDT by knighthawk

The latest episode of a popular Hamas children’s TV show features its main character cruelly swinging cats by their tails and throwing stones at caged lions in the Gaza zoo.

The episode of Tomorrow’s Pioneers features a costumed adult playing Nahool the Bee at the zoo, tormenting domestic cats and lions. The lions become so enraged by the abuse that one of them repeatedly tries to attack Nahool.

Every time Nahool swings a cat by the tail, an act that can cause permanent physical and behavior problems for the animal, children can be heard bursting into laughter.

Ironically, the decision to terrorize and inflict physical pain on real animals in the episode is an attempt to teach children not to abuse animals. When the program returns to the studio, the children in the audience criticize Nahool for his behavior, and he is told never to do it again.

NOTE: Nahool is the character that replaced Farfur, the Mickey Mouse clone that was killed off in response to widespread international outrage that a knockoff of the lovable Walt Disney character was teaching children about hatred and world Islamic domination.

In the big picture - I just do not see it ending well. Their entire society is psychopathic.

Stuff like this makes me sick. I can watch actual war footage, men being blown apart, what have you. But reading about someone abusing a helpless animal... not sure what it is.

Funny thing is, I understand hunting (but don’t), and I’ll fish any day of the week. You’ll never catch me kicking a dog or swinging a cat around by the tail. What the hell.

I think instead of us worrying about why they hate us, we should be questioning why they hate themselves so much. It’s obvious they have some serious personality problems.

“Nahool, you’re so funny! That cat routine was hilarious! HAHAHAHA! But — seriously (chuckle) — you shouldn’t (snort!) do that, because it’s (hee-hee) you know, bad for the cat. Oh! The look at the cat’s face! Man! That was priceless!

Now let’s all pray to Allah for the destruction of the Jews.”

...international outrage that a knockoff of the lovable Walt Disney character was teaching children about hatred and world Islamic domination.

Is the message less offensive from the mouth of a less plagiarized character?

I have very little sympathy for insects, and will kill them with no remorse when they bug me...but then again, I would not torture them.

Someone needs to pull the wings off Nahool the Bee and show the kids how a magnifying glass works.

That needs to be on a YouTube type stream (YouTube would pull it) so that people can see what they probably wouldn’t believe
otherwise. Palestinian children are being programmed to be cannon fodder. They were conceived to be cannon fodder.

Sounds like mild TV by Islamic standards. I’m surprised they weren’t beheading the poor animals.

hunting requires a quick and NEAT kill. This is about desensitizing these children to pain.

Kind of like teaching children to pull wings off flys so they will not hesitate to slooooowly drop legs into plastic sheet shreaders.

Would it be evil to wish that I had a chance to leave that lion cage's door unlocked one day?

"I have very little sympathy for insects, and will kill them with no remorse when they bug me...but then again, I would not torture them."

Certainly, I regard a mosquito that may infect me with west nile, or a tick with Lyme to be a threat to my health and would exercise the same rights (and IMHO, obligations) to self-defense as I would with a human being that threatened my life, limb or health.

By that same token, I'm not the type to pour salt on a slug just to watch them squirm.

There’s something fundamentally different between hunting/fishing and torturing an animal.

Only because the animals in question (cats and lions) would tear your average Palestinian “man” a new asshole.

“I’m starting to believe the “Palestinian” people need to be erradicated from the face of the earth.”

It’s an easy conclusion to reach, but remember that a generalization, even one that’s mostly true, isn’t necessarily always true.

You’re right, of course.

But how can a people raised and brainwashed with such psychotic hatred be redeemed?

Seems to me the Hitler Youth were taught similar cruelty so they would be “hard” for battle. History does repeat itself for those who fail to learn its lessons.

Well it does not suprise at all. The cruelity against animals will always and I mean WILL ALWAYS end up going next against humans. That is what happens in the Islamic world.
